RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning the Scheduling of a Public Hearing to Consider the Petition to Vacate Two Alleyways in Hazlehurst Subdivision and One Alleyway in Blount Re-Subdivision of Kupfrian Park - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director

That the Board schedule a Public Hearing for October 20, 2016, at 5:35 p.m., to consider the Petition to Vacate two alleyways in Blocks 19 and 20 of Hazlehurst Subdivision (both 20 feet x 300 feet) and one alleyway in Block "H" of Blount Re-Subdivision of that part of Kupfrian Park (20 feet x 285 feet), as petitioned by Mr. Percy Goodman, agent for Floyd Peacock and New Birth Baptist Church of Pensacola, Inc.
BACKGROUND:
The petitioners are requesting that the Board vacate any interest the County may have in the existing alleyways.  Both alleyways located in Hazlehurst Subdivision are 20 feet x 300 feet and the one located in Blount Re-Subdivision of that part of Kupfrian Park is 20 feet x 285 feet. 

Staff has made no representations to the Petitioners or to the Petitioners' agent, Mr. Percy Goodman, that Board approval of this request operates to confirm the vesting or return of title of the land to the petitioner or to any other interested party.

There are no encroachment issues involved with this vacation request. Staff has reviewed the request and has no objection to the vacation. However, should the Board approve the request to vacate, Public Works staff would like to hold a meeting to discuss stormwater options in the area once the Petitioner has hired a professional engineer for the development of this property. All utility companies concerned have been contacted and have no objections to the requested vacation. No one will be denied access to his or her property as a result of this vacation.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
Indirect staff cost associated with the preparation of recommendation.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:
